ughhhh the death flu
It has apparently caught me in its web of chills, fever, and discontent. I hate being sick. I am running a fever for the second day in a row, and I stay home when I have a fever if at all possible. We have been infecting and reinfecting each other at the office...it sucks.
I should have known the weather was changing again because last night I got the scariest migraine yet. The pressure started down in my neck and the sides of my face and was so uncomfortable I was really freaking out, and then I had my first-ever anxiety attack. So exciting! I've never had pressure like that where I was getting it, and it was really, really scary. I was trying to be calm about it, take deep breaths, relax, but my body was having none of it. I have read in some of my research that anxiety can be an actual symptom of migraines and I have to wonder if that was happening to me--nothing I was doing would settle me down, and it was coming in waves. The pressure got worse and worse and I felt worse and worse and I thought I was going to have to go to the ER until suddenly, it moved up into my head and felt like a more "normal" migraine to me. They diagnosed me with atypical migraines, but COME ON! Is it sad that I was relieved at that point? Of course on top of this I have the sonic death flu so I was shivering with the chills under a blanket while all this was going on. Lovely.
I finally relaxed enough that I could lay down and go to sleep. I am sore from all the tension and having the chills something fierce. I am hoping I can burn off my fever today because I have had just about enough of this. I need to feel better so Shawn and I can celebrate our anniversary this weekend. We got a lovely little package at the Regency (where we spent our wedding night) with a super late checkout and breakfast and stuff included. I cannot miss out on that.
